The tableaux was n striking one.
Mrs. Arnold held up both hands in hor-
ror; Halle stood triumphant with her
bracelet in one hand, and the finger of
scorn pointed at Helen, who sank be-
fore her awful accusation.
Mr.. Arnold alone, of all, was calm
and unmoved. He knew his duty as a
good citizen in such cases, and allowed
no foolish emotions to come between
himself and that duty.
Little Amos, who had only partially
realized what had happened, and yet
knew it was something terrible, burst

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-The suit OF
the United States against John Hancock.
was decided Ia favor of the defendan /
this morning in the Circait Court. TIL g
suit was brought to have the title to til 9
Muscupiabie ranch. in San Berdardino
county, declared void. The old Mexican
grant was acknowledged to be good, but
it was alleged that when the land was
surveyed at the time the United States
Patent was issued, 10000 acres wer Q
wrongfully included in this ranch, an d
that fraud and Misrepresentation were
used to secure the title. There are
forty-nine persons who wonld be affected
by change in the title at the pres ent
time. 1t was shown in court that in
stead of the ranch being too large, as
charged, the boundary line might have
legally been run so as to include square
league of land more than they do. No
evidences of fraud were introduced, and
il was found that the Land Office had
carefully investigated the matter fifteen
years ago, when the Patent was issued.
